Happy Cinco de Mayo from Barack Obama!

Tuesday, May 5, 2009


This epitomizes what I love about America, the fact that we are a melting pot of cultures from all over the world. Why is that? Very simple; because America has always been a land of opportunity that everyone has wanted to come to and try to make a better life. My great grandparents did this (fleeing from pogroms in Russia, etc. to the supposedly gold-paved streets of New York City), your ancestors almost certainly did too. And now we have a president who is the son of a white woman from Kansas and a black man from Kenya wishing Mexican-Americans (and everyone else) a happy Cinco de Mayo. What could be more American than that? Feliz Cinco de Mayo!
